'The Voice' blind auditions - Part 3: Live blog

Well, The Voice is back, and it's time for more blind auditions! We've already seen two rounds of exciting hopefuls, but will this week bring us a major star?

Join Digital Spy live from 8/7c as we discover new talent right along with coaches Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green, Blake Shelton and Adam Levine!

22:01Well, that's it for this week! Join us again next Monday (February 20), when one of my colleagues will be taking over for a couple of weeks!

21:58Time for the last audition of the night, and it's Jordis Unga, who has apparently always been a musician. She sings 'Maybe I'm Amazed' and has a nice tone to her voice. Blake doesn't wait very long before turning around. Christina doesn't waste time, either, turning around soon after. Cee Lo does, as well.

Adam says that he is the "a-hole who didn't pick [her]" but wishes that he had pushed his buttons. Christina admits that the coaches are guarded this year because of the large amount of talent but loves her upper register. Blake says that Jordis is the voice he's been waiting for throughout the auditions and that it makes him want to challenge himself.

21:48Nathan Parrett, 24, is also added to Adam's group, while rocker Brian Fuente joins Blake. MC Moses Stone also gets a chance with Christina - the first ever MC on the show.

21:4627-year-old Atlanta native Chris Cauley was influenced by his late grandmother, who was a bluegrass musician and taught him how to play guitar. He sings Bruno Mars's 'Grenade' and while I hate this song and Bruno Mars, Chris has a pretty good voice and puts a bit of a country spin to the track while still being soulful.

Cee Lo turns around first, and Adam also decides to give him a shot. Cee Lo calls it "wonderful", saying that it was the best performance he's heard of that song. Christina agreed that it was smooth all the way through, as does Adam, though he admits that he believes Chris will be a huge part of the competition. Blake says that he didn't even bother to press the button as he knew the others would be a better fit.

Chris eventually decides to work with Adam.

21:36It's time for Carson to go surprise another contestant - he's gone to get Winter Rae, a 26-year-old blue Mohawk sporting, tattoo-covered bowling alley waitress who is thrilled to try her luck. Oh, and she's friends with Perez Hilton, by the way. Just thought I'd throw that out there, since she did. Oddly enough, she's not singing rock music, but instead Rihanna's 'Take a Bow'. It's nothing incredible, but it's okay.

Unfortunately, no one turns around, so it's bad news for Winter. Christina loved her soul but admits that she was looking for more range. Blake and Cee Lo appreciate her "bad ass" hair, while Adam encourages her and tells her not to lose belief in herself as all of the judges have faced rejection in the past.

21:26James Massone, 22, works in a Boston body shop and has the most stereotypical Boston accent ever. I love it! Reminds me of my relatives. He doesn't want to go back to the shop and wants to carry on the dream of his good friends, who were killed in a bizarre rap house massacre a few years back. I'm not sure what's happening, but I hope this kid is good.

WHAAAAAAT! He sings Drake's 'Find Your Love' and is amazing! What the hell is going on? Someone had better turn around for this kid. Oh yeah! Christina and Blake do at the same time. Cee Lo follows suit, and James is all too pleased. I'm so blown away by this audition and I'm not sure why - probably since this genre of music is more my thing. James sheds a few tears upon completing his song.

Christina loves James, and said she was shocked by what she found when she turned around. "He's white!" Adam interjects. He also says that he didn't turn around only because the other three would be fighting for him. Blake has a lot of respect for James for holding it together, while Cee Lo appreciates the smooth, strong and clear quality to his voice.

After deliberating for a few moments, James (henceforth known as my favorite contestant) chooses to work with Cee Lo - that'll be a good match.

Next up, 28-year-old model Erin Martin has only been singing 3 or 4 years and is glad that she won't be judged on how she looks. She sings 'Hey Delilah' and has a super quirky voice, but it's clearly put on and to be honest, it annoys me from the off. Blake disagrees, though, and turns around quite soon into it. Cee Lo's not far behind, either. Yeah, I don't really like this chick.

Cee Lo, of course, tries to flirt, and this girl gets more annoying when she says that she didn't notice any of the coaches turn around. Yeah, right. Cee Lo thinks that she "belongs with [him]" and compliments her on her appearance and her "strange" voice. Blake jokes that he was going to "throw down some old-fashioned family crap" but goes on to say that Erin's smile is contagious and is what the show is all about.

Unsurprisingly, Erin goes with Cee Lo.

21:03Geoff McBride, who suffered a kickboxing injury as a child, is singing for his dad, who taught him all he knows. Geoff sings 'Higher Ground' and comes out the gate absolutely brilliantly. He's got a great natural charisma and commands the stage, not to mention he's got an amazing voice.

Christina is the first to press her button. The others seem to be considering it, but Cee Lo is the only other coach to follow suit. Adam thinks that he can "sing [his] ass off" and that he has an amazing ability. Christina says that the first note blew her away, applauding his talent and his "amazing energy", which is what she looks for. Cee Lo admits that he respects soul music the most, and turned around in order to give Geoff a "nod of recognition".

After a few moments of thinking, Geoff decides to work with... you don't get to know until after the break! Boo!

20:53Now it's Katrina's turn to try and shine - something tells me she just might do it! She sings Joan Osborne's 'One of Us' - haven't heard this song in a long time! Adam likes what he hears and turns around, though the other coaches stay put.

Cee Lo hits on her (really constructive there, bro), but Adam butts in, declaring that he wins because he gets to work with her and she is extremely different. Katrina seems just as happy to have gotten through and the two embrace.

20:44Carson Daly goes to surprise 34-year-old Katrina Parker at her boring 9 to 5 job in order to bring her to the blind auditions. She's extremely thrilled! Also auditioning is football player David Grace, who's here to sing 'Sweet Home Alabama' and isn't half bad. Not my style, but he's not bad.

The judges seem to think a bit about David, but no one's turning around. Blake challenges Adam to turn around, but he's not interested. While Blake considers pressing the button himself, the song ends before anyone goes for it.

Christina thinks he has a great voice and that Blake should have turned around, but Blake admits that the way David "bends into notes" hit him strangely and made him second guess his choice. Adam agrees, saying that it was a stylistic clash and nothing personal. Once again, Cee Lo has nothing to say.

20:3322-year-old Erin Willett hopes to achieve her dreams before her father, who was recently diagnosed with aggressive pancreatic cancer, passes away. She doesn't want to bring him down with sadness and instead wants to celebrate the joy of singing which he gave her early in her life. She sings 'I Want You Back' and gets Blake to turn around first with her high-energy performance.

Christina was "into it" and thinks that she has great power to her voice but thinks that Blake will make an "interesting match" with her. Blake loves to see her get such a big reaction from the audience, and Adam is also blown away by her high level of talent. Cee Lo apparently has nothing to say, but perhaps that's for the best.

20:27Now it's Pip, 19, who thinks that his unique sound will "push the envelope". He sings 'House of the Rising Sun' and it is quite good - and he's right, a bit more mature than his 19 years. Adam is the first to turn around, not far in. Blake takes a chance, as well, and Christina and Cee Lo follow suit. Looks like Pip's managed to impress the lot!

Blake likes his "cool name" but tries to entice Pip into joining a team with very few guys. Christina insists that she has "time and attention" to devote to him. Cee Lo thinks that Pip has an "old soul" and applauds his choice of song and the delivery. Adam says that Pip is what epitomizes the show, as he had no idea what Pip would look like when he turned around and that he could be a chameleon and try anything.

Eventually, Pip decides to go with Adam since he was the first one to turn around.

20:13Next up, 19-year-old Elly Duhe. She's been singing most of her life and even performing around her hometown. She even quit school during her senior year of high school in order to pursue her career. She takes on Duffy's 'Mercy' and it doesn't hold a candle to the original. She's got some okay tone to her voice but there's something sorta off. Christina, however, seems to be considering it.

However, no one turns around. Adam says that the last note was "so killer" and thinks that if they could all go back in time, all of the coaches would have pressed their buttons. Christina applauds her upbeat attitude and thinks that everyone could learn from her humility. Blake admits that the only part that kept him from pressing his button was her falsetto parts, but declares her to be the sweetest girl ever on The Voice.

20:08First up is a 27-year-old Houston native, who, upon her introduction, is sat in a shadow so that we can't see her face. She's faced discrimination for her looks in the past but hopes that The Voice will give her a chance. She performs 'You and I' by Lady GaGa and is pretty good - though we still can't see her face, nor do we know her name.

Once Cee Lo turns around, we get to see Sarah Golden's face - not sure what the build up was for, there. There's nothing wrong with her! Blake also turns around, so they'll have to fight it out. Christina thinks it was "so lovely" and "so sweet", but admits that she heard a twang in Sarah's voice that was better for someone else. Blake heard a lot of things he likes in her voice, as it's unique and "honest-sounding".

Cee Lo loves her rendition of the song and says that he wants to challenge himself with a group of diverse artists, hence the reason he wants to work with her. Eventually, given the choice, Sarah decides to work with Cee Lo. That's surprising, but could be interesting!

20:02Here we go! First up, a recap of 'in case you missed it' moments to give us a look back at what we may have missed. I love this show, can I just say that?
